As I start off this week (although I know yesterday, Sunday, is the beginning of the week), I look back at the weekend that just passed, as well as the past couple of weeks, and I say .. The Lord is good, He is Great, He is truly Amazing. Many times I tend to forget that we are to live victoriously in the Lord, in His Grace, His Mercy, and His Great Love. Many times, I catch and find myself focusing on the wrong things, my mind being entangled in negative thoughts and feelings. Yet I realize that the Lord wants us to focus on Him, He wants me to look to Him always, to hear His still voice deep within my heart, which continually calls me by name. This is His Great Love for me, for all of us. He calls us to that quiet place, where we hear His voice, calling us all by name. He reminds me to focus on Him, to think of Him, amidst the roaring waves of doubt, fears, negativity. He calls me to rise above and turn my thoughts towards Him. I thank God truly for His grace and His love, as He reminds me that He is FOR ME, and not against me.
My Lord and my God, my Father in Heaven, my Daddy, I’m sorry for the many times I have failed to focus and keep my eyes on You. I ask for Your Grace, Mercy, and Love, to sustain me in times of weakness, to sustain me in times of struggle. Be my strength oh Lord, be my guide, my Light, my everything. Thank You Jesus, AMEN.
“Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus”
Philippians 4:6-7
“Finally, beloved,whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Keep on doing the things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in Me, and the God of peace will be with you”
Philippians 4:8-9
